>So in short, I'd like to ask, what one thing let you grow/learn the most as a developer? Writing (33%) and connecting with people (33%) is as important as coding (33%) - being able to program alone solves 95% of the 33% coding pie (being able to understand advanced concepts solves the other 5% of that 33%). You will never be "confident enough" to call yourself a developer. I have a BS degree in CS and I sweat my pants when it comes to code interview. Everyone has some sort of impostor syndrome. Write about what you did, and see what channels could connect you with the people who might be interested in what you do. There are always people interested in your work, no matter how stupid your project sounds to someone, keep in mind, [a person who isn't even good at playing games but has an anime voice](https://www.twitch.tv/nyannersz https://www.twitch.tv/nyannersz) has 250K people paying her every month to do it. You don't have to shill and spam other channels, but your intention and code, if not published are just your shit, no one cares. Connecting to people doesn't have to be face-to-face. What I learned myself was that the Internet made it incredibly, incredibly easy to get to a very good person in the field who are willing to talk to me, even if I'm just not "very good." Opportunities will come to you by connections to such people. Also, I think coding/writing/networking is like going to the gym, the returns compound.
